In preparation for the football game against the Scottish national youth team to be played on 10th October at the City Stadium in Koprivnica, the young Croatian national players were guests of Koprivnica and the Podravina region.

As part of their official visit to Koprivnica, on Monday 2nd October, the members of the Parliamentary Committee for Labour, Social Welfare, Health Service, and Finance stopped off in Belupo.

Traditionally, and once again this year, Podravka has received an award for the high quality of its total performance at the Zagreb International Autumn Fair.
